I Hear They Smoke The Barbecue
I lie awake.
I was waiting for the clouds to break.
No doubt you've heard about the door in through the Northern Pole.
It's hard to believe.
Are there people living underneath?
I hear they live on fruit and air.
I hear they love ole Yogi Bear.
I hear they're good at parking cars.
I hear they want to be like we are.

They'll move next door.
They'll be a part of the neighborhood
but as sad as we are, the company must love the misery.
Now we're on the darkside of forever,
I fear them hard times are beginning for real.
I hear their sky is pink all day.
I hear they love ole Yogi Bear.
I hear they sneak around at night.
I hear they want to be like we are.

We stay up late.
We're waiting for the clouds to break.
Through the barbecue smoke, men from Mars!
It's no joke. We're not alone
and eager eyes watch the sky.
My new buddies and me, we say,
"Misery must love company."
Now we're on the darkside of forever,
I hear them hard times are beginning for real.

Somebody better go fetch the beer.
Somebody better come in out of the rain.
I hear the sound, somebody leaving.
Reminds me of that best ole friend of mine.
Ain't nobody better cry me a river.
Ain't nobody better cry me a sea because
every day, every day is a
holiday.

Don't Look Back
I'm on fire now I know.
Dig that crazy knocking on the doors.
I do believe that smell of rain's
oughta bound to be, I bet,
a hurricane.

If I try to remind you,
Uh, don't it feel like the rain?
Don't look back. Don't you know that
I'm bound to be on the last train of the season.
Count the reasons.
Oh, thee I know.
Valerie, we'll never meet again.

Come on! Don't be slow.
The porter's calling.
It's time to go.
Next stop? I don't know.
Wherever it goes, we're going home.

I fear I know the things I hope.
I lie awake, listening for my heart to break.

I don't know if it's snowing.
There's a chill settled in my bones.
Not a bird. Not a sound.
There's nothing moving in the whole town.
Count the reasons.
Oh thee I know.
Valerie, we'll never meet again.

Playback
I don't know much about her history,
the how and why of it or all the mysteries.
I hear some people saying
that she might not be the one.
Anyway, I...

I know a bit about how hard it can be,
yet I make her to be like I wanted the world to be.
Meanwhile, I should have known,
hearts are treacherous
and have a life of their own.

Feel like I'm believing in her.
Feel like the raging sea,
Feel like nobody's fool.
Am I falling? [PLAYBACK]
Am I falling? [PLAYBACK]
Am I free?

I don't know much about the lay of the land.
You start in the middle, you do the best you can.
Some days I can see the signs.
It's remarkable when love is not only blind.
How wide? How long?
How high? How strong?
Some days I think I see the light.
It's remarkable when love is not only blind.

Winter In The Firelands
Winter in the Firelands. A summer of lies.
Somewhere the truth between them has died.
A man for the season. A man for the test.
Put out the lights on leaving. Abandon the past.
I want to be the one. The only one.

A road through the Firelands. A mark in the snow.
That's where the lonely people bury their hope.
Turn back the hands of time. Turn back the kiss of faith.
Turn back the eyes of justice. Shoot out the lights and wait.
I want to be the one. The only one.
